No crossover reactions to citalopram or paroxetine among patients hypersensitive to zimeldine

Five patients who reacted with the hypersensitive syndrome to zimeldine
showed no reaction to one of two other selective 5-HT reuptake inhibitors,
citalopram or paroxetine. This further strengthens the impression that the
mechanism for the hypersensitivity syndrome induced by zimeldine does not
seem to be related primarily to the 5-HT reuptake inhibition as such.
